Dr. Alireza Kermani has co-authored an article titled "A Modal Approach to Determine Direct Shear of Beams Subjected to Impulse," published in the February 2018 issue of Journal of Engineering Structures. Protecting important structures against impulse loading is vital. Most engineering practitioners use either a Single Degree of Freedom (SDOF) approximation of the dynamic response to impulse loading or a computationally expensive numerical model. This paper demonstrates how a modal approach provides a more accurate and less conservative estimate of direct shear than the estimate based on SDOF.

Guest Editorial in COMSOL News 2017 Acoustics Edition

07-Jul-2017

Dr. Nagi Elabbasi has a guest editorial article in COMSOL News 2017 Acoustics Edition. The article is titled “How Computational Acoustics Benefits from Multiphysics” and discusses some of the developments and challenges in acoustic simulation, including the growing number of acoustic applications for medical devices and wearable technology.

Publication Co-Authored with U.S. Food and Drug Administration

7-Jul-2017

Dr. Jorgen Bergstrom has co-authored (in collaboration with Maureen Dreher and Srinidhi Nagaraja of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration) an article titled “Development of a Flow Evolution Network Model for the Stress–Strain Behavior of Poly(L-lactide)” for ASME (the American Society of Mechanical Engineers). Computational modeling is critical to medical device development and has grown in its utility for predicting device performance. There is also an increasing trend to use absorbable polymers for the manufacturing of medical devices. However, computational modeling of absorbable devices is hampered by a lack of...

Publication in Materials and Design Journal

08-Mar-2017

Dr. Jorgen Bergstrom has co-authored a paper titled "Mechanical properties of 3D printed polymeric cellular materials with triply periodic minimal surface architectures" in the journal Materials and Design. Discovery of new lightweight yet strong materials is of high scientiﬁc and technological interest as they can be utilized in numerous engineering applications (e.g. automotive and aerospace industry).

NASA Tech Briefs Article Features Veryst Engineers

01-Mar-2017

NASA (National Aeronautics & Space Administration) Tech Briefs, a design engineering publication focused on reporting significant new technologies, has published an article by Veryst engineers Allyson Hartzell and Andrew Spann titled “Solving the Interconnect Challenge: How to Bring Flexibility to Wearable Design.” As wearable technologies or “wearables” grow in popularity, MEMS and sensors are becoming increasingly prevalent. Unfortunately, today's rigid circuits can hinder the ease and comfort of the user’s movement and, in response, new manufacturing techniques are emerging for bendable electronics. The article reviews the MEMS devices in today's wearables and demonstrates how a flexible interconnect capability can better support the increasingly popular MEMS-powered technologies.

Veryst’s modeling and simulation work was featured in a COMSOL blog titled “Preventing Bubble Entrapment in Microfluidic Devices Using Simulation.” Entrapment of bubbles in microfluidic devices can distort the fluid flow and negatively impact device performance. For example, bubbles can obstruct the formation of jets in inkjet printers and can cause faulty reporting for sensors embedded in microchannels. The blog describes how Veryst modeled different microchannel geometries and simulated bubble movement, providing insight that can be used to improve the design of microfluidic devices.

Dr. Spann’s expertise uses high-performance computing to study complex physical systems, including biological systems such as vesicles, red blood cells, microfluidic devices, and platelets. His work includes simulating coupled flow, deformation, and margination of cells and membrane structures. He has extensive experience in the development and application of complex computational methods, including multiphysics.

Veryst Simulation Work the Subject of COMSOL Blog

29-Nov-2016

Veryst’s simulation capabilities were again highlighted in a recent COMSOL blog titled “Designing Effective Transdermal Drug Delivery [TDD] Patches with Simulation.” Veryst engineer Dr. Alireza Kermani recently modeled a TDD patch in COMSOL Multiphysics and compared the results to those from an experiment. Dr. Kermani presented his study at COMSOL Conference 2016 Boston and was the subject of the November 29, 2016 COMSOL blog.
